Johnny Hates Jazz - I Don't Want To Be A Hero Lyrics
Oh, send me off to warWith a gun in my handBut I wont pull the triggerOut destiny is hereneath the red, white and blueSo lead me to the slaughterNow dont be afraidCome and join the paradeFor the ultimate in sacrificeIts an old-fashioned storyOf hope and of gloryA ticket for taking life(chorus)I, I dont want to be a heroI dont want to die for youI dont want to be a heroOh send me off to warIn a far away landI never knew existedSubject me to the truthTo the horror and painUntil my mind is twistedAnd what if I failWill you put me in jailFor a murder I will not commit?cos you dont understandTill theres blood on your handsThat its time to forget and forgive(chorus)And those who returnCome back only to learnThat theyre hated by those who they lovecos youre not satisfiedTill the thousand will dieAnd your anger is paint for blood(chorus)
